Trochoidal Cutting Strategy

This cutting strategy produces smooth corners, stepovers, and engagements that lead to safe cutting conditions at high speeds and feeds.

Rest Milling

The removal of uncut material from previous operations and elimination of air-cutting are among the advantages of fully automated rest milling. Other capabilities:

Generating efficient multi-stage roughing based on IPW

Assuring consistent stock for the next cutting operation

Developing cutting parameters fine-tuned for HSM

Finishing

For superior surface finish quality, a wide range of finishing techniques is part of the NX CAM 3-axis milling software. Consistent surface finishes in both steep and shallow areas of parts result from available smooth and continuous cutting patterns, such as Z-level and offset.

Streamline Tool Path

To produce superior finishes, this HSM operation follows the natural shapes of machined areas and makes equally spaced passes in both steep and shallow areas. Independent of surface geometry construction methods, it produces smooth, flowing patterns with fine finishes at high feed rates.

Corner Finishing

Through its flowcut cutting strategy, NX automatically identifies un-machined areas in corners, creates efficient tool paths, and improves machining conditions by generating a variety of flowcut cutting patterns for steep and shallow areas. Moreover, it finishes and semi-finishes uncut areas in a single operation.
